To put it simply: They lay the smack down on Aiptasia Anenomes.

However, that's all they eat so it may be best to see if anyone else has an Aiptasia problem and pass the Berghia onto them after its done cleaning your tank.

where can I get a few? I have a small outbreak.

I googled this site:

http://www.berghia.net/marketprice.html


Not sure if it's a reputable seller but at least it's informative.

It would be a shame to get some for just a small outbreak, IMO, as they have voracious appetites and will quickly eat the aiptasia in your tank and then die after they are gone, unless you keep passing them on to another tank with an aiptasia investaion. The best thing to do for small outbreaks is to kalk them.

I recall reading a thread a long time ago about someone farming Aiptasia to feed their Berghia.

Seems like a difficult task to me. Kind of like Harlequins and starfish.

I started a similar thread on the club website before I saw this thread...

I'm thinking about trying to organize a group buy for these.

If there is any interest, please reply in this thread

I bought 6 of these a few years ago. Either my fish or shrimp ate them before they got a chance to eat the aptasia. Definitely a disappointment.
